Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"We like Veeam because it is working well, and we are satisfied with it, with the technical support, with the features, with all the possibilities that it offers."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The program has been working really well for us."
"The ease of use is great and the integrations with the storage vendors are useful, with snapshot capabilities and similar features, and the setup was straightforward, making it a stable solution with great scalability."
 

Cons

"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"Support is quite bad. They advise too late. When we call for support, it really does take far too long for a response."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."
